If you put wasp repellent on a hummingbird feeder will it also repel the humming birds?
It would be best if it did, because anything that repels insects may be dangerous to hummingbirds (would you spray DEET on your dinner plate?).
You can reduce problems with wasps by making sure your feeder doesn't leak and wiping any spilled sugar water off the outside of it every time you clean and refill it. If you do this and wasps are still a problem, buy a yellowjacket trap at a hardware store or home improvement center, fill it halfway with sugar water, and hang it where your feeder usually hangs. The wasps that would have been hanging around your feeder will climb in and drown. When you stop seeing wasps visiting the trap, you can rehang your feeder in that spot.

If a bird egg is in the cold for a long time then it warms up Will it turn into a bird and hatch?
What is a long time? Eggs that are to be artificially incubated are usually stored at 5-7C (40-45F) - this is OK for at least 10 days. Many gallinaceous birds lay clutches of 10-20 eggs and they incubate only when all are laid. The eggs are left at ambient temperature for as long as 3 weeks and they will hatch fine. Very few birds start incubating from the first egg. Some eggs may chill for periods of days during incubation with no ill-effect. One example is storm petrel eggs. This is believed to have evolved in response to the possibility of storms at sea keeping birds from the nest for extended periods.

The only way is to keep the cat indoors. Rest assured that it is highly unlikely that the cat will ever catch a hummingbird. They are the most quickest bird and very wary.
Not true. My cat has now eaten 4 hummingbirds in the last week. She ate 5 last summer so her skill is improving. She sits very still and the hummingbirds come closer and closer. They don't seem to be wary when she's around.
A bird can symbolize freedom, love for children, or what ever you feel it should symbolize.
